À propos de cet audio
This program is read by the author.
From Maria Sharapova, one of our fiercest female athletes, the captivating - and candid - story of her rise from nowhere to tennis stardom, and the unending fight to stay on top.
In 2004, in a stunning upset against the two-time defending champion Serena Williams, 17-year-old Maria Sharapova won Wimbledon, becoming an overnight sensation. Out of virtual anonymity, she launched herself onto the international stage. "Maria Mania" was born. Sharapova became a name and face recognizable worldwide. Her success would last: she went on to hold the number-one WTA ranking multiple times, to win four more Grand Slam tournaments, and to become one of the highest-grossing female athletes in the world.
And then - at perhaps the peak of her career - Sharapova came up against the toughest challenge yet: during the 2016 Australian Open, she was charged by the ITF with taking the banned substance meldonium, only recently added to the ITF's list. The resulting suspension would keep her off the professional courts for 15 months - a frighteningly long time for any athlete. The media suggested it might be fateful.
But Sharapova's career has always been driven by her determination and by her dedication to hard work. Her story doesn't begin with the 2004 Wimbledon championship, but years before, in a small Russian town, where as a five-year-old she played on drab neighborhood courts with precocious concentration. It begins when her father, convinced his daughter could be a star, risked everything to get them to Florida, that sacred land of tennis academies. It begins when the two arrived with only $700 and knowing only a few words of English. From that, Sharapova scraped together one of the most influential sports careers in history.
Here, for the first time, is the whole story, and in her own words. Sharapova's is an unforgettable saga of dedication and fortune. In this new audiobook, she brings us inside her pivotal matches and illuminates the relationships that have shaped her - with coaches, best friends, boyfriends, and Yuri, her coach, manager, father, and most dedicated fan, describing with honesty and affection their oft-scrutinized relationship. She writes frankly about the suspension. As Sharapova returns to the professional circuit, one thing is clear: the ambition to win that drove her from the public courts of Russia to the manicured lawns of Wimbledon has not diminished.
Sharapova's Unstoppable is a powerful audiobook memoir, resonant in its depiction of the will to win - whatever the odds.

From Andre Agassi, one of the most beloved athletes in history and one of the most gifted men ever to step onto a tennis court, a beautiful, haunting autobiography.

Loved it
As a big Maria Sharapova fan, I was captivated by the story of her life. Because Maria narrated the book, it made it even more special. I absolutely loved the parts about her childhood & the move to the US with her dad. Well written and a pleasure to listen to! Highly recommend to anyone who likes tennis.

A fascinating story of a great athlete
This is story previously told in many interviews and press conferences on how a little girl from Russia came to the United States with no more that $600 and a dream. This book covers everything on what happens in the sport of tennis before and after each match, how success at a very young age affects an athlete and of course the infamous doping scandal which was nothing more than an honest mistake.
Maria's voice is soothing and her accent flawless (she basically grew up in the United States) making the book come alive with her anecdotes.
A must read for any tennis fan.

I thought it was a great summary of her experiences from the first time she picked up a racquet to her ban. I also appreciated that Maria herself recorded the audiobook.

A book about ego and gossip. Disappointed.
Most of the book is about Maria throwing herself flowers. Very egocentric. But respect as a great player in her time.
